	        SuSE does not appear to have the concept of ~/.bash_profile.
	       
	        ? ibid? Guess i'm a little slow today. As for /etc/profile I tried
	        modifying this on a RedHat 9 box and it does work the file structure
	        references a function called "pathmunge" but it looked straight forward.
